The Nogat is a 62 km long delta branch of the
Vistula River in northern Poland. Unlike the main river, it does not empty into Gdańsk Bay but rather into the Vistula Lagoon
.
The Nogat has its origin near the village of
Vistula River. Shortly afterwards the river Liwa flows into the Nogat. Then the river passes Malbork and flows north-east towards Elbląg (but does not reach the city). North-west of Elbląg, the Nogat flows into the south-western part of the Vistula Lagoon
.
The river was located within the
Germany and the Free City of Danzig (Gdańsk). It again became part of Poland in 1945, following Germany's defeat in World War II
.
